    There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.
    New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

    Dueling pistols were specifically designed to be one shot and have horrible aim. Which made the kind of "cheating" the guest describes more difficult.

    When Miles was asking about the specifics of dueling, I thought to myself "I bet Andrew Jackson cheated at duels", and did not have to wait long for Robert to confirm that.

    William Walker had a lieutenant named Fredrick Townsend Ward, who raised and lead a mercenary army in China against a rebel force whos' leader was peasant who thought he was the younger brother of Jesus. History is fucking wierd

    Commenting to say, haha, wow, yellow fever sounds like a real pickle. According to Wikipedia, it's five days of fever, chills, nausea, and backache, followed by a recovery, and 15% of the time then it relapses, causing liver-no-work-good and attendant jaundice, hence the yellow, and also bleeding from every hole on the face, and also hiccups.
    Not good, folks, not good.

    Hate to say it, but it was mild when you compare it to Jamaican slaveowners. It's still a silly pretext, but slavery could be and was much more brutal in other places.

    Since Americans were still basically Brits at this point structurally, i think "college" might be the european term, as in "college" is high school, and "university" is college.
